Rendered in the softest shade of sky blue raw silk and embellished with trailing silver, blue and pearlescent beadwork in a trailing floral design, this original 1960's vintage cocktail dress, is the perfect statement piece for that special occasion.
The rounded neckline is framed by a border of beadwork, which draws the eye to the simple shoulder line. The short inset sleeves frame the bodice, which is accented by trailing floral beadwork along the top the bust-line. The silhouette of the dress boasts rounded seams along either side of the bodice, which allow for a gentle fit along the waistline and set off the A line silhouette of the skirt-line, completing this dress in an iconic 1960's design.
This dress is fully lined in rayon.
